With “Blue Bloods” in its final season, and Selleck’s memoir, “You Never Know” soon due for release, the actor sat down for an interview at the 63-acre ranch he bought in Ventura County, California, in 1988 to discuss his “lucky life.”

“People would say, ‘Oh, he was bitten by the acting bug’ or, ‘He wanted to be a star.’ I’ve never talked that way in my life. I just wanted to get a job and work,” Selleck says in the interview.
When it comes to priorities, Selleck’s family is on top of the list. He met and married his wife, Jillie, now 66, while he starred in “Magnum P.I.,” and they share a daughter, Hannah, while Selleck also has a son, Kevin, from a previous marriage.

After four decades of marriage, Selleck says he loves “the friendship” he shares with Jillie and her “sense of humor.” Valuable attributes in a partner, especially during tough times he elaborates on in his forthcoming memoir, which “is a lot about failing.”
“If you’re going to get into the acting business, you better have an appetite for it. And I tried to communicate that… Because it was kind of a long road,” Selleck says.
Nowadays, Selleck spends his free time reviewing scripts for “Blue Bloods” with Jillie when he is not filming. He is also seen out and about from time to time, including recently, when we reported that fans thought he looked like an “entirely different person” while spotted grabbing McDonald’s.
